Evergreen Homes builds luxury new construction homes near Northville, MI, through two award-winning communities, The Reserve at Crystal Lake in Commerce Township and The Meadows of Cherry Hill in Canton. Home sizes range from 2,570 to 3,250+ square feet across Craftsman, Farmhouse, and New England Seaboard styles, with premium features standard.
Northville has the kind of pull that's hard to replicate. A Victorian-era downtown that actually feels lived in, public schools with a long-standing academic reputation, and acres of state-managed green spaces within a short drive. People relocate here for the lifestyle and stay because the community delivers on it year after year.
The downtown core anchors everything. Boutique shops line Main and Center, Genitti's Hole-in-the-Wall has been hosting families and theatergoers since 1969, and the seasonal Northville Farmers Market draws crowds from the surrounding townships every Thursday in warmer months. The Fourth of July parade is a tradition that pulls thousands. Add the Marquis Theatre and the holiday lighting along Main Street, and downtown becomes a year-round draw, not a summer destination.
Northville Public Schools consistently ranks among the higher-performing districts in Wayne and Oakland counties. The district pairs strong academics with a competitive athletics program and a music and arts curriculum that families specifically search out. Whether you have a kindergartner or a high schooler weighing AP options, the district's depth is part of why Northville home values stay resilient.
Maybury State Park gives Northville residents 944 acres of trails, a working farm, and a fishing pond. The Hines Park trail system runs alongside the Rouge River and stretches for miles toward Plymouth and Dearborn. Mill Race Village preserves a collection of 19th-century buildings on the edge of downtown.
For families who want green space without driving north, Northville delivers it within five minutes of the front door. The cross-section of historic charm, strong schools, and outdoor access is why the city continues to draw families relocating from across Metro Detroit and from out of state.
Northville itself has limited opportunities to purchase new single-family construction, and what does come available is usually a one-off custom build. Buyers who want new construction, premium features included, and a community of similar homes tend to look just outside the city limits. Evergreen Homes builds in two locations that consistently work for Northville families.
The Meadows of Cherry Hill offers 38 large premium lots in Canton, inside the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district. Homes start from $624,900 across three innovative floor plans in Craftsman, Eastern Seaboard, and Farmhouse styles. The Cherry Hill Village dining and retail district is a few minutes away, and the drive into downtown Northville is a clean run up Sheldon or Beck Road. For Northville buyers who want a strong school assignment and a quiet, finished community, The Meadows usually shortlists itself. The community offers a slower pace than the busier Canton arterials while keeping easy access to retail, dining, and major employer corridors.
The Reserve at Crystal Lake is a different proposition. A 160-acre community built around a private 40-acre lake, with 203 premium home sites and four floor plans — the Avalon with its first-floor owner's suite, plus the Madison, Newport, and Chelsea. Homes start at $599,900. The community was named 2025 Development of the Year by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan. Residents have a private beach with access to boats, fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle-boarding.
New construction in the Northville area generally falls into two buckets: high-volume production homes that lock you into limited options, or one-off custom builds with long timelines and unpredictable budgets. Evergreen Homes sits between them. Family-owned, semi-custom, and personally managed.
Jon, the owner and builder, has 25 years' experience building in Southeastern Michigan. And he is on-site every day. See what buyers say in our homeowner testimonials.
Recognition from the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan carries weight because the judging is done by industry peers. The Reserve at Crystal Lake earned 2025 Development of the Year.
The Avalon floor plan, with its first-floor owner's suite, received a 2025 Blue Ribbon Award. The Madison plan earned a 2024 Blue Ribbon Award. These awards reflect both the design quality of individual plans and the broader community planning behind them.
A common surprise during the buying process is what counts as an upgrade with other builders. With Evergreen Homes, granite countertops are standard throughout. GE kitchen appliances are standard. Kohler plumbing fixtures, Andersen windows, James Hardie fiber cement siding, and the Ultra-Shield basement waterproofing system are all included in the base price. The list reflects a fairly direct philosophy: build the home the way you would want to live in it.
Northville architecture leans toward classic. The community's historic district sets a tone that newer construction has to respect. Our floor plans and exterior styles are designed to feel at home in that aesthetic while delivering the layouts buyers expect in 2026.
You'll choose from three architectural directions. Craftsman elevations carry the tapered columns, low-pitched roofs, and natural materials that have aged gracefully across Michigan since the early 1900s. Farmhouse leans into board-and-batten siding, generous porches, and clean lines. New England Seaboard brings shingle and lap siding, dormers, and a more coastal silhouette.
Our customization process gives you meaningful room to personalize without the open-ended timeline of a pure custom build. Add a flex room for a home office, an in-law suite for multigenerational families, a loft for a growing teen, or a covered patio for Michigan's shoulder seasons.
